VISIT

Iquitos & The Amazon River: Your Amazon Tour Gateway

Emerging from its humble origins as a Jesuit mission, Iquitos blossomed during the 19th-century rubber boom. Accessible only by water or air due to the absence of roads, this vibrant city boasts a rich history.

The influx of wealth during the rubber boom era led to the construction of magnificent mansions, including the iconic Casa de Fierro designed by Gustave Eiffel. Though the rubber barons have long departed, their lavish homes still grace the landscape, a testament to the region’s past prosperity.

Today, Iquitos serves as the gateway to the Amazon River, welcoming travelers embarking on their Amazon tour adventures. As the largest port city in the Amazon rainforest, it offers an ideal starting point for your exploration of Peru’s lush wilderness.
